海关保税物流监管场所准入退出机制研究

保税物流监管场所是一些国家为了给予有别于本国关境内一般场所的特殊政策,采取特别的保税措施进行监管的场所,比如传统的保税仓库、出口监管仓库,以及近年来"流行"的保税物流中心(A、B型)等多种类型的保税物流监管场所.保税物流监管场所管理制度是国际通行的一种海关监管制度,其保税储存、转口贸易、缓税、简单加工和增值服务等功能在国际贸易中发挥着不可替代的作用.     

出口加工区功能拓展分析

出口加工区功能拓展是在原有单一保税加工制造功能上增加保税物流和研发、检测、维修方面的功能,通过对拓展功能后的出口加工区与区外所享受的政策优惠进行了横向对比,指出功能拓展后的出口加工区已成为目前我国所有对外开放区域中层次最高、政策最优惠、功能最齐全的海关特殊监管区域之一。出口加工区功能拓展后产生贸易自由度效应、产业链延伸效应、物流综合化效应和技术溢出效应。功能拓展将为出口加工区提供更广阔的发展空间。

Can the standard international business cycle model explain the relation between trade and comovement?

Recent empirical research finds that pairs of countries with stronger trade linkages tend to have more highly correlated business cycles. We assess whether the standard international business cycle framework can replicate this intuitive result. We employ a three-country model with transportation costs. We simulate the effects of increased goods market integration under two asset market structures, complete markets and international financial autarky. Our main finding is that under both asset market structures the model can generate stronger correlations for pairs of countries that trade more, but the increased correlation falls far short of the empirical findings. Even when we control for the fact that most country-pairs are small with respect to the rest-of-the-world, the model continues to fall short. We also conduct additional simulations that allow for increased trade with the third country or increased TFP shock comovement to affect the country-pair's business cycle comovement. These simulations are helpful in highlighting channels that could narrow the gap between the empirical findings and the predictions of the model.     

我国企业技术创新状况的非对称分析：总量和比重

本文通过总量和比重这两个不同的角度,对我国企业技术创新的状况进行了实证分析。随着我国经济总量规模的迅速扩大,企业技术创新总量明显增长,但从企业层面看,技术创新的比重却没有得到相应的提升,甚至呈现下降趋势。     

Trends in helmet use by motorcycle riders in the decades following the repeal of mandatory helmet laws

Several US states repealed universal motorcycle helmet laws in the 1990s and 2000s. The purpose of this study was to examine national trends in helmet use among adult trauma patients with motorcycle-related injuries. We hypothesized that motorcycle helmet use declined over time. We retrospectively analyzed the National Trauma Data Bank's National Sample Program for 2003–2010. We also obtained data on US motorcycle fatalities reported in the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and population data from the U.S. Census Bureau to calculate motorcycle-related fatality rates over time. A total of 255,914 patients met inclusion criteria, of whom 148,524 (58%) were helmeted. During the study period, helmet use increased from 56% in 2003 to 60% in 2010 (p < 0.001). However, motorcycle-related fatality rates also increased in states with and without universal helmet laws. Nationally, rates of helmet use have increased. However, fatalities due to motorcycle crashes have also increased during the same period.     

湖南省能源消费与国民经济增长关系分析

通过采用计量模型,选取相关数据,对湖南省经济增长与能源消费的关系进行实证研究发现,1980-2008年期间,每增加1％的能源消费,湖南省经济增长就增加2．66％,每增加1％的经济增长,湖南省能源消费就增加0．31％,即存在正向协整关系。说明能源消费和经济增长对彼此都有正向的促进作用。同时,经济增长和能源消费之间也存在着单向因果关系——经济增长会扩大对能源消费的需求。从趋势项的系数看,正确认识经济增长和和能源消费之间的关系,解决好经济增长和能源消费之间的矛盾,是目前乃至今后一段时期湖南经济工作的一个重点,也保持湖南经济又好又快发展的一项非常迫切的任务。     

Marketspace and the Internationalisation Process of the Small Firm

This empirical study explores the potential impact of the marketspace—the virtual world of digitised information—on the process of internationalisation within small technology-based firms (STBFs). Research findings demonstrate several effects relating to the firm's increased use of the marketspace for international business activities. In relation to internal resource-related effects, increased marketspace use is associated with: a stronger internal resource-base for international operations; and higher levels of internal international business information. Moreover, in relation to external resource-related effects, increased marketspace use is associated with: an increase in the firm's international orientation; an increase in the range and diversity of international business contacts; and an increase in unsolicited orders from foreign markets. This study confirms that the entrepreneur's prior Internet experience is a critical factor influencing use of the marketspace to support the firm's international operations. Similarly, organisational use of the marketspace (influenced by the previous experience of the entrepreneur) impacts upon certain aspects of the firm's internationalisation behaviour. Despite the significance of these findings, the marketspace is neither a replacement for traditional marketplace-based activities, nor is it a panacea that ensures effective small firm internationalisation. Complementary exploitation of both the marketspace and the traditional marketplace is likely to provide the optimal internationalisation route for small firms.     

Why did the equity home bias fall during the financial panic of 2008?

Investors tend to put most of their wealth in local stocks; theories of portfolio choice and uncertainty aversion jointly predict that this home bias should increase during a financial crisis. Yet, using a sample of 45 countries, I document that the equity home bias fell during the financial panic of 2008. Exploiting bilateral stock holdings, I find that investors actively increased their home bias, but large valuation changes subsumed these trades. Across countries, the change in home bias is consistent with partial portfolio rebalancing and increased information asymmetries during the crisis.     

Economic upheaval in the Gulf region

The six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council face similar economic and political problems: falling oil revenues, growing budget deficits and increased demands on their foreign resources, a one-sided economic structure and increased pressure by public opinion for political rights. Their approaches to finding solutions have varied. Will these approaches be adequate to exploit the economic potential of the region in the future? Improvements in certain areas give ground for optimism.

The Effect of Entering the WTO on the Oil Industry and the Economy of Taiwan

The crude oil price of the world increased two‐fold during 1999–2002. The price of domestic oil products for the same period increased with a smaller percentage, i.e., 27 per cent. This phenomenon could be attributed to Taiwan's oil market liberalisation after 2000 and its entering the WTO since November 2001. According to this study, the effect of entering the WTO itself suppressed the oil price from increase by 15.455 per cent in 2002. It also reduced the inflation rate by 0.74 per cent and increased the economic growth by 0.39 per cent. Nevertheless, entering the WTO also increases the competition in the oil industry, which is a big challenge to the domestic oil refinery sector and the state‐owned Chinese Petroleum Corporation in particular. The price decrease of oil products also increases the demand for oil products and exacerbated air pollution and CO₂ emissions. For minimising the negative impact of entering the WTO on the economy, the Taiwan government has devised a series of preparations in the last decade. Those preparations include a step‐by‐step market liberalisation plan, a strategy taken by the state‐owned CPC, a new taxation implementation and the legislative works such as the Petroleum Act. This experience might be worthwhile for the reference of other economies.     

The weight of the saddened soul: the bidirectionality between physical heaviness and sadness and its implications for sensory marketing

ABSTRACT

Heaviness is a bodily metaphor used to express sadness. Building on embodied cognition theory and metaphor theory, we argue that sadness is grounded in bodily sensation of heaviness, which has important sensory marketing implications for engaging consumer senses to affect consumer decision-making and attitude formation processes. We found support for this metaphorical link between heaviness and sadness across six studies. We showed that carrying a heavy bag saddened individuals and increased the valuation of a teddy bear. Intention to donate to a charity supporting endangered tigers increased when burdened participants watched a sad video about these animals. Conversely, sadness induced physical heaviness and increased preference for an easy-to-maintain sofa. Further, sad individuals disliked an advertisement for a sports drink that figured energy-consuming actions. Our findings inform sensory marketing practice about embedding the bodily sensation of heaviness to induce sadness in marketing communication.
